Those are the offical standings. Those aren’t the right numbers – the two errors in Fuego (should be 131) and Valiente (should be 259) totals from last week were never corrected by CMLL. It’s not going to matter for Valiente, who’s already clinched. It could play into the last spot. Fuego did not do well in the polls the first two weeks, but beat Fantasma did poorly in the fan polls all three weeks, and so Fuego picked up 28 points on him this week to make this a contest.

If Hijo del Fantasma wins and Fuego loses, Fantasma will advance

If Hijo del Fantasma loses and Fuego wins, Fuego will only need a small (~10) victory in the polling to advance

If both lose or both win, Fuego needs a big victory in the polling to advance, but he did get one of those this week.

Fuego doesn’t have a match with Tuesday – unless I’ve missed it somewhere – but Hijo del Fantasma has a match tonight. Not just a match, a match against Tiger. The last time Hijo del Fantasma and Tiger had a match, it went to a hilarious time limit draw. That was in Arena Coliseo, this one is in Arena Mexico, and so Fantasma has a ramp to allow him to actually win a match, but another time limit draw would throw a big monkey wrench into everything. The other En Busca de un Idolo match, Vangelis vs Valiente, will has little affect on the standings but will probably foreshadow one – or maybe two – rematches later in this tournament.

The main event on today’s card is Mistico, Mascara Dorada, and Sombra versus Terrible, Euforia, and Volador Jr. It’s pushed both as another recurrence of the Volador/Sombra rivlary and a possible preview of Sunday’s trios tournament, though it’s more directly a really great sounding match. The big story to track is any existent of major show on 06/14; it’s seven days away, so CMLL would have to make any match fairly clear by the end of the night. They’re hinting at a massive hair match, but not at a date – maybe they’ve decided running a big show on Sunday is enough for TripleMania weekend.

Hijo del Santo has more details on his son’s training in NOAH. The biggest detail is his son, 16, will not be wrestling as Nieto del Santo, at least at first. He’ll be using the name “Tempestad” and a black version of the Santo mask. (There are guys in Satillo and Monterrey also using that name.) NOAH wanted to use him as Nieto del Santo, but Tempestad said he was not ready for that name. He’s been training under Solar since age 12, has trained in taekwondo and jiu jistu, and won a Ne Waza competition. Nieto del Santo is headed to New Zealand after his training in Japan is done, and it sounds like he’s a ways away from debuting in Mexico under any name.
